Basics of black hair

The typical hair and hair follicles of people of African descent are tightly curled, thus producing hair spirals. Black hair also typically has a higher than Caucasian hair and retains less water diameter, thus its relative "perversion". The many styling methods used in disturbing black hair with hair loss. Black hair is very strong, fortunately terms of black hair styles cause a lot of stress on the hair and scalp.

For example, using a hair pick to pick up a thick hair style is a very damaging process due to the constant tensile stress causing the hair shaft and follicle. In fact, combing black hair in general can create high voltage black hair and break, which perpetuates dryness. Conrowing and braiding are methods of hairdressing to straighten the hair, and this can cause a lot of stress on the hair resulting in hair loss on the scalp. Resulting in braided hair pulled tight can cause traumatic alopecia, a hair loss that is caused by trauma to the hair and scalp. Traumatic alopecia is usually reversible with proper hair care.

Hot combs and relaxers used to straighten hair can cause a lot of heat and damages the hair and scalp, which can also cause traumatic alopecia, and over time can cause permanent hair loss. This is especially true when the heat or chemically processed hair is pulled tight by rollers or a hot iron.

Hot oil conditioners are excellent for black hair, as hot oil treatments contain proteins and polymers vital to repairing the hair cuticles. Hot oil treatments include heating oil and put it in the hair and scalp, then cover the hair with a plastic cap to allow the oil to penetrate. Follow the recommendations on the treatment used during the time you should leave the treatment on the hair. This process can heal breakages and shinier stronger hair will be the result.

Consider that hair relaxers used in the black hair contain lye or similar chemicals that break down the hair fiber. Left beyond the recommended time, these chemicals eat right through the hair and cause it to fall out in clumps. That is why these same products are used in products like Drano ® to clean clogged drains which often are clogged by hair. Lye relaxers are not very popular today, mainly because it leads people to believe that the product is not caustic.

This is far from the truth. The combination of calcium hydroxide and guanidine carbonate are combined to form guanidine hydroxide, which could easily clean a sink. Repeated use of these products may cause some degree of hair loss, and if scarring occurs while using these chemicals, hair loss may be permanent in that area of ​​the scalp. Does one must ask is advisable to place such caustic chemicals in the hair on a regular basis for the sake of desired appearance? The question must be answered by each individual, however, they must know the facts.

There is little that can be done to alleviate this syndrome without changing the typical hairstyles of African Americans. There is an impasse on relaxing black hair, black hair combed as natural cause so much stress and breakage of hair, while chemicals cause so much damage to the hair and scalp and leather. There is a hair relaxing products on the market that use chemicals and are somewhat less harsh than sodium hydroxide (lye) or its equivalent in relaxing popular "no-lye": calcium hydroxide (lime) mixed with guanidine carbonate. One such product is called Natural-Soft ® and clay Sahara ® by Baka ProductsTM leading the market since 1990.

 This product is completely natural and it does not contain many harsh chemicals business and really relaxing contains finely ground plant called Daphne gnidium Africa and clay is calculated to be relatively safe. Of course this product does not straighten hair in most cases the same way as commercial relaxers, however tend to do black hair more manageable. However no other product on the market that is 92-96% natural Naturalaxer called ™ Kit in a jar that does not require the applicant to comb the hair during application, resulting in less damage.

Of course the bottom line is once again, if you can leave your hair in its natural state then less stress and damage to the hair are experienced and thus prevent at least one cause of hair loss. There is a growing segment of the black population that is comfortable to wear their hair in natural styles. One such style is dreadlocks. There are many rumors and myths concerning dreadlocks, as there is little proper information available concerning this style, and as with anything that is misunderstood many myths arise around it.
